Blood in poop

My older (9y) male bearded dragon just pooped with a large amount of viscous blood and I'm not sure what to do. I just got back from being gone for a week so someone else was taking care of him, but nothing he ate should cause any poop color like this. I'm worried sick and don't know when I could take him in. He doesn't have anything around his cloaca that would make me think it's a prolapse and there are no behavioral changes. He did have a black beard a bit earlier but that isn't too abnormal for him considering the time/his temperament. I'm very very worried and any advice at all would be helpful, he's so important to me and I want to do anything I can to help him.

I wish it was but the liquid is definitely blood based on how it cloted up and separated. He also didn’t eat any blueberries while I was gone.

Hello,

That is concerning. Do you know what foods he took in while you were gone?
It is hard to tell but his eyes look like they are a bit puffy, is that correct? If they are it's possible
he is having renal issues. Can you get him to the vets on Monday?

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
